AuthorTopic: Remote Desktop in Vector Linux (Read 3485 times)

Hello,I was wondering if its possible to desktop-login remotely to a machine on LAN in VL, and what need service need to be enabled/configured in local and remote machine to achieve that?Thank you much.

It is possible. You will not however see the KDM login prompt. Rather you'd want to use a VNC server @ the remote machine (the one you want to log in to) and a VNC Viewer on the client (the computer you will be connecting from)

There used to be a tightvnc package on the repos, but it seems to not be there anymore..

You should be able to simply build tightvnc using the cruxports4slack feature in vpackager.

Is VNC resource hogger and does it start a needed and stop when not used?

I'd really appreciate some more info on that: "You should be able to simply build tightvnc using the cruxports4slack feature in vpackager."

Thanks much.

rDesktop is a front end to tools like VNC and other protocols IIRC.As with any remote session appliation, you can run the server when you need it, and stop it when you dont if you prefer.To build tightvnc, open vpackager (Should be under system)Click on the "Cruxports4slack" buttonClick on the "Display Available" buttontype "vnc" on the search barSelect tightvnc and click "Build Selected"
